Get the title and/or link of the parent website in javascript in SP2013

Question

Is it possible somehow in JavaScript to acquire the title and/or link of the parent of my current site?

I know that I can create a client context with a specific URL, but is it possible to do this relatively, so that the script can run on any website and catch the parent?

Answer 1

You could use the REST API to get the Title.
